    FWIW, it’s enabled on the Note 4 T-Mobile edition (and it has that chipset).

    I’m a fan of my Note 4 (T-Mobile edition). I like the ability to take notes with a pen occasionally (e.g. in class), and I love the large screen (no longer so unique). Screen is amazing; physical back button is nice; camera seems decent. I’ve had mixed results with battery life; sometimes less than a day.

    I have an SP3, and love the low weight. Haven’t tested visibility under sunlight though…

    P.S. I also love that I can FPS game with mouse + keyboard, play other games with wireless Xbox controllers, or use a myriad of other weird devices — Razer Hydra, Oculus Rift, etc.

    I’m totally with Chris Plante on this one, but I’m also a little biased in that I’m a PC gamer, so my choice was clear. But I definitely stopped using my Smart TV’s features once I connected a PC, as I could do them so much easier and faster with my PC-connected-to-TV. With my PC, I can also:

    • Remote-control my audio receiver, which has serial (RS232) control but nothing else (but IR). I can switch to send audio to my living room, or my kitchen, even though the receiver sends different inputs to each (by switching the computer’s output on the fly).
    • Surround my TV with LEDs that extend the video I’m watching: http://lightpack.tv/
    • 3D gaming (using Samsung 3D TV + nVidia 3D vision drivers)
    • Get an aquarium or fireplace on my TV at the press of a button
    • Remote control all of the above using either a wireless keyboard, or an IR remote, or my phone.
    • Anything else I can imagine.

    If you’re into building computers, here’s a fun case that looks nice in the living room:

    I tried it briefly on Windows 8.1 (desktop) and it wouldn’t even display correctly — the initial circle was white (no image inside), clicking it seemed to do various things which I could not figure out due to faulty display. Perhaps a DPI issue? Doesn’t sound like it’ll come close to Pidgin, though, which I still use.
